Frandy and a dozen of his henchmen took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and finally escaped to the woods to the east.
Without horses, they could only run on their own feet. The thorns in the forest scratched their clothes and scratched their flesh, but they didn't even notice.
The defeat of the coalition forces came very suddenly. Just now, they were fighting hand-to-hand with the Donghua Army. The fight was indistinguishable and the fight was extremely brutal.
When the enemy's cavalry arrived, the entire one-mile-wide front collapsed instantly.
The troops of Donghua Army climbed over the parapet one by one and launched the general attack together.
The army was chasing behind, and the cavalry of the Donghua Army was intercepting and killing them in front.
The defeated troops of Lamontania were running around like headless flies on the battlefield.
The horse whistle led his squad and rushed out with the clarion call for counterattack. He was probably the first cavalry member of the cavalry regiment to join the battle.
At the beginning, the horse sentry also used carbine to shoot the fleeing soldiers one by one.
Disliked that the carbine was too slow to change bullets, the horse whistle casually hung the carbine on the saddle and took out the revolver Dong Shutong gave him from his waist.
Riding on a war horse, the horse whistler can even put his pistol on the back of the defeated soldiers and shoot, almost killing an enemy with one shot.
Ma Shao felt like he had rushed into a herd of panicked alpacas.
Almost every bullet can take away the life of a white gangster.
Later, the horse whistle simply pulled out the saber from his waist and started slashing left and right.
The cavalry around him followed him, chasing a group of broken soldiers and killing them.
The white bandits, who usually looked fierce and vicious, were just running away without any resistance at this time.
The horse whistle and his men together were less than ten people, but the broken troops in front of them numbered hundreds.
The situation on the battlefield is so strange. The morale of soldiers can be reduced to zero in an instant because of one incident.
Frandy couldn't control the soldiers he brought out. The larger the broken army, the easier it was to be pursued by the enemy.
The blue officer's uniform that Frandy originally wore had been thrown away, leaving only the white cotton shirt underneath.
However, at this time, the cotton shirt had become dirty. It was no longer as bright as it was originally. The cylindrical hat he originally wore on his head had also fallen off. His hair was messy after being scraped by branches.
It made him look extremely embarrassed.
But at this time, Frandi can't control any of this.
Being able to escape from the cavalry interception was considered a stroke of luck. Most of the defeated soldiers were either killed or surrendered on their knees and became prisoners of the Donghua Army.
The Donghua Army had no intention of killing all the enemy troops who were willing to surrender. This was because the mining industry was Peru's pillar industry. What would be most lacking in future mines would be prisoners of war like this who could serve as free labor.
Frandy only dared to move forward in the woods and did not dare to walk. He seemed to be able to hear the hoofbeats of the Donghua Army on the road.
Two of his cronies had already been bitten by poisonous snakes. At this time, no one had time to stay and save them. These two guys could only let them fend for themselves.
Frandy just wants to escape back to his hometown. Maybe it would be a good thing to be able to send the news of the defeat back.
"Commander, we have won! A great victory!" The headquarters of the Donghua Army was filled with joy.
This was the first large-scale formal battle fought by the Donghua Army since its formation. Everyone was very happy to achieve such a victory, as it finally did not disgrace the reputation of the Renaissance Army.
"Okay, everyone, don't rush to celebrate now, take the time to count the battle losses and captured prisoners." Tian Fang interrupted the celebration of the staff around him and divided the tasks.
As for him, he needs to start studying the next strategic direction.
It is disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate! The Fuxing Army has never suffered losses since it was formed. The Donghua Army and the Fuxing Army are of the same origin, so naturally they will inherit the Fuxing Army's "stinginess".
According to the discussions between Dong Shutong, Tian Fang, Ma Chun, Zhu Mu and others, if the Donghua Army wins this time, they will take advantage of the situation to capture the southeastern plain area. In order to prepare for the next step of conquering the southern Peruvian mining area with Cusco as the core, and thoroughly
Prepare to fall out with the Peruvian government.
"Squad leader, look at the horse hoof prints on the ground. They are definitely not left by our people."
All enemies on the battlefield have been destroyed or surrendered.
Ma Shao led his men to chase eastward along the road, and along the way they wiped out a group of defeated troops.
Mansour fled eastward under the protection of the remaining guards. The cavalry company sent by Li Yunshan pursued closely.
In order to get rid of his pursuers, Mansour exchanged his clothes with one of his own soldiers and allowed them to surrender to the enemy after he escaped danger.
Then Mansour led a group of people on horseback through the bushes and came to a path.
The remaining guards also took the fake Mansoor to lure away the enemy's pursuers.
"Let's go, let's catch up. The commander said, no white bandits can be allowed to escape." The horse whistle said, leading the men to catch up.
After chasing for another half an hour, the horse whistle finally saw the coalition soldiers in front of them who were escaping on horseback.
Yeah, it seemed like they were just a group of ordinary soldiers. The horse whistle did not see any officers in gorgeous military uniforms from the rear.
The uniforms of officers in the coalition army are obviously different from those of ordinary soldiers, which can be seen from a distance.
The clothes of this group of people were obviously ordinary soldiers.
I didn’t catch big fish, but small fish and shrimps were pretty good too.
Ma Shao thought to himself.
"Bang..." a gunshot sounded, and the horse whistle removed the carbine from his shoulder.
The shot just now hit a defeated soldier in the back of the heart.
The defeated soldier immediately fell off his horse.
Mansour, who was concentrating on riding his horse, was frightened.
Maybe the next shot will hit him.
As we grow older, our family assets increase.
Mansour is no longer as brave and fearless as he was when he was with Bolivar.
He is now very afraid of death and does not want to become a prisoner of the enemy.
"Bang!" Mansour took out his pistol and shot blindly in the rear.
But the shot hit nothing.
Seeing that the cavalry in front dared to fight back, the horse whistle became angry.
"Drive!" The horse whistle kicked the sitting horse hard with his spurs.
The soldiers around him also accelerated to catch up.
Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, there were fewer and fewer guards behind him.
Mansour finally gave up and continued to escape.
Between death and surrender, he chose to surrender. After all, after becoming a prisoner, as long as he could afford the ransom, he could still regain his freedom.
"Dismount, squat on the ground, surrender without killing!" the horse whistle shouted in Spanish.
Mansour had no choice but to follow the instructions of the remaining guards.
"Are you also a soldier?" Ma Shao saw an old man among the surrendered enemy soldiers.
"Yes, please don't hurt us, I am willing to use ransom in exchange for freedom." said the veteran.
Although the other party was wearing a soldier's uniform, Ma Shao felt that the other party did not look like a soldier.
There are doubts about the other party's age and temperament.
But now is not the time to check this.
The horse guard was going to escort these people back first. He didn't know yet that he had caught a big fish.
In the camp of the Donghua Army, the officer sent out by Li Yunshan to catch big fish walked out of Li Yunshan dejectedly.
After chasing for a long time, I unexpectedly caught a fake enemy general.
Just now at Li Yunshan's place, the cavalry company commander was scolded.
This matter has not yet reached Tian Fang's ears.
Tian Fang has already crossed the river to the Xinxiang farm in the rear.
The follow-up battle plan has been drawn up. Now it needs to be approved by Dong Shutong.
"General Tian, you fought this battle beautifully." Dong Shutong praised, although he was the nominal talker here.
However, Dong Shutong respected the people sent by his younger brother very much, and generally would not use his status to suppress these people, and rarely interfered with their affairs.
"Thank you for the compliment, Commander-in-Chief. The soldiers fought well. These enemies should have been recruited from the private soldiers in those estates. Their combat effectiveness is just that, and they should not be as good as the Peruvian government troops." Tian Fang said.
"Great Ruler, next, we are going to launch a general offensive to the southeast. This time we should be able to recover the entire Hedong area."
"But from now on we may have a complete falling out with the Peruvian government forces. If we want to take over all the Hedong area, we must liberate the Indians there and use them for our own use. These manor owners will definitely make a deal with the Peruvian government
If we compromise, the Peruvian government will definitely be involved when the time comes." Tian Fang analyzed.
"So, what General Tian means is that we are preparing to go to war with the Peruvian government?" Dong Shutong asked.
Although they had been keeping a low profile for more than two years, Dong Shutong felt that there was still a certain gap between them and the Peruvian government.
"I think the great rule will not be up to us at that time, unless we give up the plains within easy reach in the east, and the large number of Indians living there who can be united. But this means giving up these interests to the Peruvian government, then we
We are really under siege by the Peruvian government.”
Dong Shutong rubbed his forehead. He was not a very good decision-maker.
The stakes were very high at this time, and he felt that the more than 200,000 Donghua forces were now in his hands.
"Husband, don't you have a saying that should be interrupted without interruption, only to be disturbed?" Zhu Mu, who had been listening on the sidelines, said. She can also speak Chinese now and can communicate normally with Tian Fang and the others.
"Peru's government changes frequently, and whoever has the bigger fist usually comes to power. So why can't we be the top one? As long as we can unite all the Chinese and Indians, we can control this country.
Nearly two-thirds of the population. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to defeat these people? Even if you replace the Peruvian government, there will be no problem.”
"Well, Madam is right. If we want to do something big, let's do it bigger. If we go eastward, we will use the slogan of liberating the Indians and eliminating the manor owners. In addition to the manor owners, everyone else is someone we can unite with. Anyone who joins
Give them our land. But those who resist us are our enemies. The enemies will either be destroyed or go to work in the mines."
"If the manors in the north want to interfere with us, then we will fight north. If the Peruvian government troops want to interfere with us, then we will go back and knock down Lima." Dong Shutong finally made up his mind to fight. To overthrow the long-term
The existence of the manor owner economy will bring about a great chain reaction.
This will be a big gamble. Donghua is likely to be attacked from all sides.
"Great rule, I think since we are going to do something big, we can mobilize the militia now. According to our current registration situation, we can recruit at least 70,000 militiamen." Ma Chun suggested.
According to the custom of the Renaissance Army, the management of the militia and regular army is separated.
Here in Donghua, the militia is under the management of Ma Chun.
Now the population structure of Donghua is very good. The Chinese are mainly young and strong. There are not many old and weak Indians. Therefore, although Donghua only has a population of more than 200,000, the standing army and militia can still make it together.
One hundred thousand people came out.
"As for our supplies, after conquering the southeast, the accumulation of those manor owners over hundreds of years will be enough for us to use for a long time."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Just like Dong Shuheng destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Renaissance Army suddenly had the primitive accumulation of industrialization.
You must know that at this time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet been hollowed out by the foreign powers. Although it experienced the first Opium War, the losses were not huge.
The family fortune left by the Qing Dynasty was still very strong. But the silver received in the capital exceeded 200 million taels.
When the cash and gold arrived in Hu Guangyong's hands, he could multiply it several times to issue currency.
This can satisfy Dong Shuheng's lavish spending in recent years.
Now, Ma Chun also realizes this, and there is no problem with the strategy of using war to support war.
The accumulation of hundreds of years by the Peruvian manor owners must be considerable.
These stingy manor owners will definitely hide their wealth in their own manor.
When a new force rises, it will always step on the head of the old force. The old forces will be trampled into the soil and let them become nutrients for the new force after being corrupted.
"Master Ma is right. Since we are going to fight, we must prepare for the worst. We have accumulated more than two years, which is enough for us to carry out full mobilization."
"As for our losses, the enemy will naturally make up for us. The most important thing for us now is to be fast. If we fight a war of attrition, we will definitely not be able to defeat the Peruvian government forces. At least we will have to wait until we have an entrance to the sea.
We can afford to fight a war of attrition." Tian Fang said.
"So, after we take over the southeastern region, we must first occupy the city of Cusco and call on all Indians to rise up against the white people. Then we will pass through the southwest region, control an inlet to the sea, and open up connections with the Renaissance Army."
"The southwest region is not as easy to fight as the southeast region. The terrain there is dangerous and many cities are easy to defend but difficult to attack," Dong Shutong said.
"The war in the southwest cannot be rushed. I am planning to fight quickly in the southeastern plains, so I have to mobilize the Indians in the manor. If those people are not won over, it will be troublesome if they are won over by the manor owners. In that case,
We will probably be dragged into the jungle fighting by them. But we need Madam's help to win over these Indians," Tian Fang said.
"No problem, General Tian, as long as we agree to give the Indians land, I believe they will make the right choice." Zhumu is still very confident in winning over these Indians.
"When we attack the mining areas in the southwest, we will temporarily take a defensive position in the north. The manor owners in the northeast and the Peruvian government in Lima will probably join forces to attack us," Tian Fang continued.
"General Tian, we must also consider the reactions of several surrounding countries." Dong Shutong said.
